eplanita Natural Dishwashing Sponges (Pack of 6), Kitchen Eco Scrub Scourer, Natural Loofah Plant, Biodegradable and Zero Waste

Love these eco friendly sponges!
After trying the sample they generously include in their (also fabulous) bamboo/natural bristle veggie scrubber (which I also use for dishes) I fell in love with this sponge. The loofah is softened, not hard like the whole loofahs one usually sees, making it easy to use. It’s scrubby enough to get most caked-on gook but safe for nonstick, plastic, and ceramic surfaces. It’s very absorbent, even better than most plastic/based sponges as mine didn’t leave any droplets behind, so you can use it for spills and wiping up counters, too. Haven’t had it long enough to comment on durability or smells. Even so, I think it’s a great value for an effective all around sponge that won’t add to the plastic crisis.

Good natural alternative
I was not sure at first if I loved these sponges, but as I have used them, they have grown on me.Positives: Very well made, sized, and handy. Especially good for plates and pans. They do not ever seem to smell bad like regular sponges, probably because they dry so quickly. They suds up nicely with soap once softened. You receive enough in the order so you can throw dirty ones in the washer and dryer.Negatives: Sometimes they do not completely clean in the washer as food can get stuck in the fibers. Has not been a big problem as I make sure to rinse them a bit better first. Also, they can be too stiff for cleaning glasses and cups easily. But once they soften up in the dish water, they work fine there too. I suspect they will last a very long time. I grew loofah about 15 years ago and made my own scrubbers. I still have one.

Cleans well but will need to buy more later…
This is a decent product. I see why they give you like 6 of them in a pack and offer to buy more later. They just individually won’t last that long, but I like the absorbency and it seems to be a fairly clean reusable sponge, until it absorbs too much dirt maybe after a week or so.

Still happy after using for a month
I’ve used this product for a month which is the stated amount of time that the sponge should last, and I’ve been very happy with it. It started off very stiff, but became soft after a couple of weeks of use. It did start to smell a couple of time, but I poured boiling water over it and that solved the problem. For the most part food particles rinse out of the sponge easily. This sponge still has a lot of life left in it so I’ll use it for cleaning and get out a new one from the package for dishes.

Funciona perfectamente, como un estropajo tradicional antirayas, pero biodegradable. Dura bastante si lo tratas bien, es decir, que no es adecuado para sartenes agarradas, para eso están las nanas.

Geht bei Kontakt mit Wasser auf. Spült mein Geschirr super. Kann ich empfehlen.

Prima di comprarle ho letto un po’ di recensioni che dicevano che non puliscono bene. È vero che sono molto delicate sulle stoviglie, sullo sporco non ostinato puliscono come una normale spugna in plastica, non di meno, vanno benissimo per piatti , bicchieri e posate. Per pentole con sporco ostinato e incrostazioni continuo ad usare la paglietta, ma devo ammettere che sono per le cose veloci. Magari se fossi un po’ più paziente si pulirebbero bene anche quelle. Intanto ho eliminato le spugne economiche in plastica che mi duravano pochissimo e inquinavano. Adoro il fatto che siano ecologiche ed igieniche. Secondo me vale la pena considerando l’impatto ecologico.
